"It's great to hear from our customers which band they thought was the 'Best Live Act' of the last 12 months and clearly One Direction really won their fans over, taking just over a quarter of all votes.

"This will get fans even more excited for their huge 'Where We Are' stadium tour taking place next year. Congratulations to the boys!"﻿

Other winners at this year's awards included Coldplay and Jessie Ware, who were named 'Best British Act' and 'Best Newcomer' respectively.
